He’s my stepbrother, my last mistake… and the only man I can’t say no to.
I came to this island to launch my dream wedding planning business—not to fall into bed with a masked stranger at a masquerade ball.
One night. No names. No consequences. Until I find out exactly who he is.
He’s a billionaire. My new stepbrother. And now he’s decided to stick around… offering help I didn’t ask for, and stirring up feelings I can’t afford.
He’s reckless, irresistible, and everything I’m not. I’ve spent my whole life trying to prove I’m more than a disappointment. I can’t risk my one shot at success—not for a fling that was never supposed to follow me past sunrise.
But every look is a dare. Every touch, a promise. And on an island where secrets don’t stay buried, falling for him might just ruin everything.
Shameless is a spicy, forbidden romance set on a sun-soaked island where temptation runs deep and rules are meant to be broken. Perfect for fans of billionaire bad boys, friends with benefits, and off-the-charts chemistry. Dive in now.

✨ Behind the Scenes of Shameless
Shameless is one of those stories that arrived already humming with heat and trouble. It was supposed to be a simple “what if they met at a masquerade and didn’t know who they were?” But like Avery and Fran, it refused to stay in its lane. What emerged was a sizzling, sun-drunk romance about ambition, identity, and the one person who sees you fully—especially when you don’t think you deserve it.
This book deepens the Off-Limits Lovers world while standing firmly on its own. It carries all the emotional punch, messy yearning, and toe-curling spice readers expect from Lore Townsend, wrapped in a lush, tropical setting that feels like pure escape.
Whether you’re following the series or discovering this island universe for the first time, Shameless brings the heat, the heart, and the chaos in all the best ways.
